Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of dry or solid materials in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires the use of contrast agents to enhance visualization of the dosage forms. In this study, we explore the novel use of manganese gluconate added to tablets. Manganese was released during tablet dissolution, generating a bright "halo" effect around the tablets, consistent with shortening of the longitudinal relaxation time of the bulk water surrounding the tablet. This is the first study to use MRI to directly image tablet dissolution in the fed stomach using a manganese gluconate contrast agent as dissolution marker.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Pharmaceutics publishes the results of original research that contributes significantly to the molecular mechanistic understanding of drug delivery and drug delivery systems. The journal encourages contributions describing research at the interface of drug discovery and drug development.
Scientific areas within the scope of the journal include physical and pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics, molecular and cellular biology, and polymer and materials science as they relate to drug and drug delivery system efficacy. Mechanistic Drug Delivery and Drug Targeting research on modulating activity and efficacy of a drug or drug product is within the scope of Molecular Pharmaceutics. Theoretical and experimental peer-reviewed research articles, communications, reviews, and perspectives are welcomed.
